Have PCOS. Getting Huge Chunks Of Blood In Periods With The Size Of An Unopened Tissue Packed
Hello I have something called PCOS witch affects my periods amunst other things.
Every time I have my period I get HUGE HUGE chuncks this time round it has been a lot worse my period is a lot heavier and the chuncks are a hell of a lot bigger and a shit load more of them.
im thinking of trying a tampon for the first time ever but im worried about it.
What will happen to the huge chuncks of blood.i no chuncks of blood is normal but why are mine so big? When I say big it can be the size of an un opened tissue packed like the ones you put in your hand bag.
Thanks

Hello,
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, irregular bleeding , amenorrhea are characteristic feature of PCOS.
These large size chunks are actually clotted blood due to irregular bleeding .
2nd reason may be due to fibroid in uterus, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of uterus.
Hormonal imbalance is the next reason of so heavy bleeding, diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of FSH/LH ratio, estrogen androgen level examination.
In my opinion consult a gynecologist and get his opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
